The Anatolian sub-plate [1] [2] is a continental tectonic plate that is separated from the Eurasian plate and the Arabian plate by the North Anatolian Fault and the East Anatolian Fault respectively. Most of the country of Turkey is located on the Anatolian plate. [ 3 ]
Anatolian plateau in winter from air. The Anatolian plateau (Turkish: Anadolu Platosu) is a plateau that occupies most of Turkey's surface area. [1] [2] The elevation of the plateau ranges from 600 metres (2,000 ft) in the west to 1,200 metres (3,900 ft). [citation needed] Mount Erciyes near Kayseri, is the highest elevation at 3,917 metres ...
Tectonic plates in Turkey; the Anatolian sub-plate, the African plate, the Arabian plate, and the Eurasian plate. Except for a relatively small portion of its territory along the Syrian border that is a continuation of the Arabian plate, Turkey geologically is part of the great Alpide belt that extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the Himalaya ...
The East Anatolian Fault (EAF; Turkish: Doğu Anadolu Fay Hattı) is a ~700 km long major strike-slip fault zone running from eastern to south-central Turkey. It forms the transform type tectonic boundary between the Anatolian sub-plate and the northward-moving Arabian plate . [ 1 ]

[1]: 33 Formed by the intersection of the Aegean and Cyprian tectonic arcs, [1]: 32–3 and located between the continental Bey Dağları and Anatolian blocks, [2]: 134 the Isparta Angle is a geologically complex area with many nappes of diverse ages and origins that were pushed onto the Menderes-Tauride platform.
An outcrop of the sheeted dyke complex of the Troodos ophiolite. The Troodos Ophiolite crops out in the central part of Cyprus in a northwest to southeast striking band. The lithospheric mantle crops out in the Troodos Mountains and in the Limassol Forest, Akapnou Forest, on the Akamas Peninsula and near Troullo.
The Arabian plate consists mostly of the Arabian Peninsula; it extends westward to the Sinai Peninsula and the Red Sea and northward to the Levant. The plate borders are: East, with the Indo-Australian plate, at the Owen fracture zone; South, with the African plate to the west and the Somali plate and the Indo-Australian plate to the east
